Plenty more fish in the sea! Michael Phelps recovers from love split by taking new bikini-clad waitress girlfriend to aquarium

He is well used to quickly moving on from disappointment as a top flight athlete.

And legendary swimmer Michael Phelps seems to have taken this philosophy into his private life too, after he was photographed with his latest squeeze less than a month after splitting from his last girlfriend.

The 27-year-old treated pretty waitress Sarah Herndon to an aquarium visit after whisking her off for a romantic break in the Bahamas.

New squeeze: Michael Phelps recently visited an aquarium with his new girlfriend Sarah Herndon

Herndon shared snaps of the expedition, including one of herself wearing a bikini, on her Instagram account.

According to Radarhe met the 22-year-old wannabe model during a break in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and she extended her trip an extra day to stay with the 18-time gold medalist.

And it seems she is almost as fun-loving as the hard-partying Olympian, if a friend who spoke to the website is to be believed.

They said: 'Sarah was on holiday with her family in Cabo and that’s where she met Michael. She stayed an extra day with [Phelps] because he asked her to.

'She asked her family if she could stay another day [while they went home] and they were cool with it, especially after they found out who he was!

'She flew back to L.A. afterwards, but then Michael invited her out to the Bahamas last week where he was doing a celebrity golf tournament.

'He offered to fly her out to the Bahamas to stay with him, and of course she jumped at the chance. She got whisked off her feet, I mean he’s a celebrity.'

The friend also revealed that the pair are already moving fast.

The source said: She had a great time with him. They hooked up multiple times, and she said he is an amazing lover.'

And the aspiring model was smart enough to keep herself amused when her new beau had other commitments.

The friend said: 'Michael would go
play in the golf tournament in the morning and she would stay at the
place they were renting just swimming naked in the pool.

'She had the time of her life, for sure.'

Luckily enough, it seems they met just as she was breaking up with her boyfriend.

The insider said: 'She was dating a guy in L.A., and they broke up recently. She’s gorgeous, funny and loves to have a good time…..Michael appears to be the perfect fit for her.

'She is kind of easy going, she likes to hook up with hot guys.'

However, it remains to be seen whether their relationship will last, as he was also seen partying with a bevvy of beauties in Las Vegas earlier this month.

News that Michael had split from his last girlfriend Megan Rossee emerged just before New Year's Eve.

It was said that the Olympian had ended his relationship with the Los Angeles-based aspiring model and actress because he reportedly felt it was 'not going anywhere'.
